Punta Sabbioni: Hotels for Your Stay

Specific details about route length, surface, construction and ACTV connections provide a useful guide for considering these features in the context of your own stay. The routes differ not only in length, but also in their stated uses and construction. There are also two clearly identifiable points of interest: the fortifications and the lighthouse.

Compare cycling and walking routes

The Via del Tramonto is a 12.9 km route with a mixed surface and a moderate level of difficulty. It is designated for city bikes, mountain bikes and Nordic walking. Length, surface and permitted uses describe different aspects of the route; the moderate level of difficulty adds an indication of how challenging it is.

The Via Pordelio, also known as La Via del Respiro, is designed differently: the elevated cycling and walking path extends for 7 km directly over the Venice Lagoon. In terms of length, the Via del Tramonto is longer. While its surface, level of difficulty and uses are specified, the Via Pordelio is distinguished above all by its elevated construction and route over the lagoon. This lets you compare two different features when choosing a route: information about difficulty and use on the one hand, and the distinctive construction on the other.

Fortification route and Forte Treporti

The Via delle Fortificazioni is a historic open-air route; its Punta Sabbioni section includes Batteria Amalfi and Forte Treporti. Forte Treporti, also known as Forte Vecchio, is a military fortification near Lio Grando on the fortification route in Punta Sabbioni. This describes both a route featuring two named structures and an individual fort with an alternative name and a specific location. If you are interested in the fortifications, you can distinguish between these two perspectives: the route and the details about Forte Treporti itself.

Faro Pagoda: construction and design

Construction of the Faro Pagoda di Punta Sabbioni began in 1882 and was completed in 1910. The lighthouse is 26 metres tall and has a pagoda-shaped metal structure with black-and-white chequered terraces. Its construction period and design provide historical and architectural context: the dates indicate the period of construction, while the height, shape and terrace pattern describe the architecture in detail. Alongside the fortifications, it offers another distinct landmark to consider when planning your trip.

ACTV connections and getting your bearings

ACTV Line 14 connects Burano, Punta Sabbioni, Lido S.M.E. and Venezia, or San Marco–San Zaccaria. The timetable has been in effect since 1 January 2026; as timetables can change, check the latest information before travelling. The named places give you a clear overview of the connection and its stops.

The ACTV ferry service on Line 17 includes the connection between Tronchetto and Lido San Nicolò, as well as the section between Lido San Nicolò and Punta Sabbioni. For Line 14, the places connected are listed, while the information for Line 17 names two route sections. This distinction helps you interpret the line information in relation to your planned journey.

The IAT Punta Sabbioni tourist information office is located at Piazzale Punta Sabbioni. The name of the square adds a specific local landmark to the route and structure names.
